"Sister-in-law, what's wrong today?" The women in the village were all used to Li's gentle side, and just now they clearly felt that Li was absent-minded.
"Second Brother Zhan is also weird." Another aunt agreed. If it were normal, Second Er Zhan would laugh and tell everyone about the strange things in the county.
The sharp-eyed aunt whispered: "The Li family girl's hair is messed up and her palms are bruised."
"Why have I forgotten this? In the morning I met my sister-in-law and she said she was taking Xiaoyu to buy pens and ink, so she went to South Street." After hearing this, the young woman slapped her thigh, and everyone understood.
come over.
"Second brother, you're back." Xiao Yao, who was washing vegetables in the Zhan family's yard, hurriedly greeted him.
Taking a look at Mrs. Li's backpack full of things, little Mrs. Yao curled her lips and said in a strange tone: "Mom, you see, my sister-in-law bought so many things and spent a lot of money, right?"
"Shut up, did your sister-in-law spend your private money?" Mrs. Zhan, who was always mean, scolded her sharply, and then looked at Zhan Feiyu with a smile on her face, "The little fish is back, the sugar cane in the fields is sweeter, and the milk is here
You left a section."
Mrs. Zhan was feeding water to the cows, Mrs. Li carried her basket into the house, Mrs. Zhan took Zhan Feiyu into the kitchen to eat sugar cane, and Mrs. Yao was ignored by a group of people.
Turning blue with anger, little Yao complained to Ma next to him, "Brothers and sisters, look, since Xiaoyu entered the private school, there is no room for us in the second or third bedroom in the old Zhan family!"
"Second sister-in-law, if you don't like Xiaoyu, don't get involved with us." Ma looked at the jealous little Yao and laughed, "The third child and I have no ability, so we will rely on Xiaoyu to support us in the future.
Cutting sugar cane, and waiting for the little fish to marry into Zhu Landlord's house, he will eat big meat every day!"
"Erlang picked up bird eggs at noon. I left two for the little fish. I'll go get them right away." Ma left his words and followed him into the kitchen. The third child was right. From now on, the most promising person in the Zhan family will be the little one.
Yu, I am not as stupid as my second sister-in-law.
"I can't survive this life!" Little Mrs. Yao threw the radish in her hand into the wooden basin. When she heard Mr. Ma's loud laughter in the kitchen, she was even more angry and trembling.
…
"Learning is obtained through hard work, and thousands of books can be read through the window. Three winters are enough, but who laughs with an empty belly... I am a farmer in the morning, and I ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening..." The sound of reading loudly came from the private school, and there were twenty or thirty people in the room.
A schoolboy was reciting with his head shaking, while Master Lin was reviewing the homework handed in in the morning.
"Zhan Dalang glared at you three times this morning." The little fat man on the left winked at Zhu Peng, motioning him to look at Zhan Dalang who was sitting behind him.
"Don't worry about him!" Zhu Peng replied irritably, looking involuntarily towards Zhan Feiyu in the first row in the middle. The seven-year-old girl was not even taller than the table. Although she looked excited, who would want to ask for it?
A short fat man as a wife!
"Okay, I'll deal with him after school." The little fat man chuckled.
"No!" Zhu Peng slammed the table. If the marriage happens, Dalang Zhan will be his brother-in-law!
Wow! A group of children who were studying looked at Zhu Peng with admiration. After Master Lin used a ruler to scare the monkeys, no one dared to cause trouble while studying.
Uh...Zhu Peng, who was belatedly aware of this, swallowed his saliva, raised his head in a panic, and met Mrs. Lin's stern eyes, and his back felt hairy.
Master Lin is usually a gentle scholar, but he is extremely strict when teaching students, which explains the true meaning of the "strict teacher".
"Zhu Peng, why do you read the Four Books first and then the Five Classics?" Master Lin held a ruler in his hand, his face was solemn, and with a glance, the other students straightened their bodies.
Zhu Peng stood up tremblingly. He was not a student. Although he entered a private school at the age of four and was the longest-study person except Lin Xiuyuan, his level of learning was almost the same as that of Zhan Dalang.
"Back to Master, the "Four Books" are easier to learn, and the "Five Classics" are too complicated." Zhu Peng recalled the "Four Books" and the "Five Classics" on the shelf in the study. He knew the words, but after putting them together, Zhu Peng couldn't read them smoothly.
"Zhan Feiyu, you answer." As soon as Master Lin said this, a group of schoolchildren who were sitting upright secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not hit.
Zhan Feiyu stood up and said, "The ancients once said: If you want to know what the purpose of the Classics is, what should be done first? If you know the purpose of the two books "Yu" and "Mencius", you can read the "Five Classics". Reading requires
Step by step, but the Four Books are easy to read and the Five Classics are difficult, so read the Four Books first, and the Four Books are headed by "The Great Learning"."
Master Lin nodded with satisfaction. Among the students he taught, Xiaoyu was probably the only one who actually took the imperial examination. Most of the other students would find accounting jobs after three to five years.
Half an hour later, seeing Mrs. Lin taking Zhan Feiyu back to the study, Zhu Peng looked at his red and swollen left hand and murmured: "Didn't what Zhan Feiyu said mean the same thing as what I said?"
"Uh..." The little fat man swallowed the chestnut cake that he stuffed into his mouth. Looking at Zhu Peng who looked sad and angry, could he say that he didn't understand what Zhan Feiyu was saying?
"If you fart, it's just a fart, but scholars call it Xu Gong, so even if you say the same thing as Xiaoyu, you will still be beaten." The classmate sitting next to him explained this, and the people next to him slapped the table and burst into laughter.
"Yes, we scholars are so particular!"
"Be a farmer in the morning, and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening." A group of naughty children laughed again.
